An unladen weight of 2,110 kg against a payload of around 1,390 kg means the payload makes up a good third of the gross weight. At a width of 2,150 mm, the STRAATMACHINE is narrower than most trailers in its class. The 3,350 mm wheelbase is comparatively short for a two-axle trailer of this size and points to a compact chassis design. The 2012 build year places the trailer in a generation of modern overrun brakes.

For a combination with a trailer up to 3,500 kg, a category B licence is usually enough, provided the combination's gross weight does not exceed 3,500 kg; otherwise a category BE licence is required. A comparatively heavy unladen weight combined with a compact wheelbase points to a body designed for heavy, compact loads rather than a light general-purpose trailer. The overrun brake engages automatically when the towing vehicle brakes.

When buying a trailer from 2012 second-hand, the overrun brake mechanism and its linkage are among the most important checks, as are the frame for corrosion and the axle bearings for wear, especially if the trailer was regularly run close to its payload limit. With a comparatively heavy build, it is worth checking the tyres for even wear. Spare parts for axles and overrun brakes are usually readily available on the open commercial-vehicle parts market for this trailer type.
